Lumerical on Caviness
Lumerical requires user(s) to purchase a license in order to gain access to the license server to actually use the software. This requires some amount of setup for each workgroup to do in order to use Lumerical on Caviness. One can define an environment variable that can be set to the license server "path" (<port>@<hostname>
).
The VALET packages for Lumerical are available to everyone on Caviness, and will load as expected. However, in order to use the different Lumerical packages, it will only work if the appropriate license server <port>@<hostname>
information is defined as provided upon purchasing a license.
